THE SECOND GRAFEA DEBUT

I've had these beautiful clothes for over a week now, (that's a long time in my book), and I've been dying to get them up on my blog as they're current favourites in my wardrobe, (particularly the playsuit!).  Now, I'm not a playsuit girl by any means, purely because I despise the way I look in them, but recently I've been seeing a few that flatter me.. (as best as possible). This one is one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe. I love the colour, pattern, fabric, cut, the lot! I'd seen it on Missguided for absolutely ages, and when I saw it was included in the 40% off section, naturally it went straight into my basket! Another item that was in that section is this perfect pastel pink kimono. So simple, so classic, and so me! I actually bought the lilac one too, (don't shoot me!).
Yep! ANOTHER beloved Grafea bag!! This is the second beautiful bag I got for my birthday. I want to carry them both around with me at all times!! How perfect does this bag go with my outfit? This kimono and bag are a match made, I'm sure of it.  Just like the lilac Hari bag, the quality is incomparable to any bag I've owned/seen.  Also, I found that in person, the bags are a little smaller, which is really good as it makes them a lot more versatile/easy to use.  This bag is the 'holdall', but I find it just the right size to use as a day bag, then again, I love huge, obnoxious bags!
Besides the weather being incredibly bipolar, (using it as an adjective), I popped on my new favourite sunglasses from Red Hot Sunglasses! I was recently lucky enough to be added as one of their new bloggers, and I received the cutest welcome pack, including these babies, (as well as some delicious chocolate!).  They stock some incredibly drool-worthy sunglasses from the likes of Miu Miu, Prada, and many more!
Also, I do apologise for the slight lack in pictures/lack in good ones as I had a little struggle with my photographer AKA mother.

IBIZA OR ENGLAND?

Normally, the weather wouldn't stop me tooooooo much when shooting an outfit, but with the combination of torrential rain and wind, I decided to hold off until it was somewhat acceptable!
I've never really been a fan of the 'clubbing scene', however I have a secret love for 'clubbing fashion', I can't help it! There's something so cool about crazy bright colours and cute 90's fashion. I'd say this look is very acceptable for a clubbing holiday in Ibiza! (If only I could have shot the pictures there..). 
I was very kindly sent this incredible dress from Moonstruck Ibiza, an online store selling the cutest pieces, very much clubbing style! Does it remind you of anything? The AA halter-neck dress maybe? Yep! It's literally an exact dupe of the American Apparel lycra halter-neck dress. I own three dresses in this style, two being from American Apparel, yet none of them feel as good quality as this one!  This dress is so much softer, and doesn't require a bra, (in my opinion), unlike the others!
I wanted this kimono when it first came out a couple of years ago in H&M, but I wasn't quick enough, and I certainly wasn't going to pay the extortionate prices on eBay, so I was thrilled when I found it on Depop for........... £5!!!!! An absolute steal. It's possibly a little too bright for day to day wear, but for a holiday or festival, it's perfect!
There's no such thing as a clubbing outfit without a little holographic, and I'm a sucker for anything shiny, so of course I'm wearing my go-to Public Desire babies! 

(Interesting lighting????).

PRETTY LITTLE RAINBOW

You may be completely sick of seeing me in kimonos by now, but I can't stop!  I've had this one for a little while now, and it's another absolute babe of a kimono from Missguided! The fashion Gods. I think I have around 16 maxi kimonos now, and I'm still not over them. All I can can say is, I seriously wish I had all of them on my holiday!  I actually caught my Mum trying this one on and striking a few poses in the mirror, quite the sight.. quite the sight. I don't blame her though, it's such a beautiful combination of colours, and they compliment each other so well. You could wear this with white pieces, or play on the colours of the kimono for a really funky outfit!
I have this dress in plain white, and I was originally going to wear that, but after bagging this baby in the Topshop sale, it was clearly a match-made in heaven! I'm obsessed with these 'tiered' swing dresses in Topshop, and I find with them being so simple, they're the perfect summer dress. For me, they're a timeless piece in my summer wardrobe as I love to be comfortable in the warmer weather, and dress fairly simply.
These shoes and bag practically live on my blog, and they're the perfect combination with the clean white faux leather look.  (I won't go into them as you've probably heard about them 1,000,000 times!).

KIMONO OF DREAMS

I'm really proud of myself getting out to take these pictures as I'm mega poorly, so pat on the back for me! I feel like this outfit is another tropical follow up to my previous post! What can I say? I've always been a fan of tropical themed fashion!
I've had this absolute show-stopper of a kimono sitting in my wardrobe for a little while now, waiting for the perfect moment to bring it out, and now seems to be the time! Possibly because I'm super ill and I need a killer outfit, and some MAC lipstick?  Anyway, I don't think I can praise this kimono enough. It is the ultimate, queen, super fabulous, KILLER kimono. It floats in the wind when I walk, (giving me the biggest ego ever as I feel like I'm on a catwalk), and it cinches in at the waist, which gives it such a flattering shape, (incredibly unusual for a kimono!).
At the same time of purchasing the kimono, I added this beautiful little mint green two-piece to my basket which I'd been after for a while!  I didn't expect to pair the two together, but they actually go really well in my opinion, despite being dissimilar shades of green!
It's pretty obvious I'm a lover of white chunky shoes/heels, so when Topshop brought out the 'Lenka' heels, I had to purhcase them! I have to admit, I was definitely persuaded by my blogger friends who said they're the comfiest shoes ever, so technically it's not my fault! (I'm looking at you Lau and Danielle!). I'm definitely hinting at the black pair for my birthday. (16 days, eeeek!). Ps, I may have overdone the 'kimono floating in the wind' pics, but could you not?!

PALM TREE SUNSET

I'm actually really pleased with how these pictures have turned out, so shout out to mama bear for being so fabulous! 
I may have taken 'payday treats' to a new extreme after looking at all of the pieces I ordered from Missguided! No regrets, they're all magical and beautiful. You can only imagine the Missguided filled blog posts to come! (Like they're not in every single one anyway, ha!).
Anyway, the reason I mentioned that is because this dreamy palm-tree print crop top was only £4.99 in their sale! I purchased the 'daytime' one not long ago, so when I saw the 'sunset/evening' one in the sale, it was completely sold. (I can only describe it like that as it actually makes sense to me!). I'm sure I've featured this skirt before, but it's my trusty AA lilac skater skirt which was a birthday present last year! It looks lovely with this top, really bringing out the lilac hues. Yep, it's a kimono.. again. Sorry, not sorry! It's not my fault there's so many beautiful kimonos out there, what's a girl to do?!
My shoes are my newest and seventh pair of Public Desire beauties. I have never been so dedicated to a shoe store, haha! All for a very good reason though, and that's super beautiful and affordable shoes! I must say this about every single pair of PD shoes, but these are truly the most comfortable shoes in the history of ever. They were having a 20% off everything promotion at the time I ordered them, so I only paid around £12 which is incredible. Even the measly £14.99 they actually are is incredibly reasonable.
